More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Law, without force, is impotent.
Blaise Pascal
Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise Pascal
As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.
Blaise Pascal
If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?
Blaise Pascal
The imagination enlarges little objects so as to fill our souls with a fantastic estimate and, with rash insolence, it belittles the great to its own measure, as when talking of God.
Blaise Pascal
We are usually convinced more easily by reasons we have found ourselves than by those which have occurred to others.
Blaise Pascal
I am in the utmost perplexity, yand have wished a hundred times, that if there is a A God, nature would manifest him without ambiguity, and that if there is not, every imaginary sign of his existence might vanish : in short, let nature speak distinctly, or be totally silent, and I shall know what course to take.
Blaise Pascal
All this visible world is but an imperceptible point in the ample bosom of nature.
Blaise Pascal
I maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world.
Blaise Pascal
Voluptuousness, like justice, is blind, but that is the only resemblance between them.
Blaise Pascal
I bring you the gift of these four words: I believe in you.
Blaise Pascal
All I know is that I must soon die, but what I know least is this very death which I cannot escape.
Blaise Pascal
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal
Seeing too much to deny and too little to be sure, I am in a state to be pitied.
Blaise Pascal
Look for the truth, it wants to be found.
Blaise Pascal
If we dreamed the same thing every night, it would affect us much as the objects we see every day. And if a common workman were sure to dream every night for twelve hours that he was a king, I believe he would be almost as happy as a king who should dream every night for twelve hours on end that he was a common workman.
Blaise Pascal
The majority is the best way, because it is visible, and has strength to make itself obeyed. Yet it is the opinion of the least able.
Blaise Pascal
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason.
Blaise Pascal
All mankind's unhappiness derives from one thing: his inability to know how to remain in repose in one room.
Blaise Pascal
To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity.
Blaise Pascal
